Question
please do as in the Example

Transcribed Image Text:Graph the ellipse given by each equation. Find center, foci (focus), vertices,
co-vertices.
a) 4x + y – 64x – 12 y+ 276 = 0
b) x² + 25y² – 12x – 100y+111= 0
Example:
Graph the ellipse given by each equation.
1. (x+2)* + ¥¨ = 1
12
49
SOLUTION:
The ellipse is in standard form, where h =-2, k = 0, a = V49 or 7, b = /9 or 3, and c =
|40 or about 6.3. The
orientation is vertical because the y-term contains a´.
center: (h, k) =(-2,0)
foci: (h, k ± c) = (-2, 6.3) and (–2, -6.3)
vertices: (h, k ± a)= (-2, 7) and (-2, –7)
covertices: (h + b, k)= (1,0) and (-5, 0)
Graph the center, vertices, foci, and axes. Then use a table of values to sketch the ellipse.

= 1
